Remember when you got your first phone and texted friends for days because it was so new and great? Well yeah, that kind of changed when you reached semi-maturity and realized social pressure was totally legit. So now you’re left trying to figure out what idiot decided to antiquate writing letters because you can no longer use “the mailman got lost” as an excuse, while simultaneously cursing Apple for making read receipts a thing. It's k, I feel you.
1. When you send a nicely worded text and get this in response:
Please try harder.
2. And on the flip side feeling like a heathen because your texting style hasn’t changed since middle school
I'm so sorry.
3. Passive Aggression
Even more satisfying than sub-tweeting.
4. Getting “k” to your super eloquent and beautifully composed text
How kind, you even put in the effort to type a period.
5. Skillfully ending a convo with “Sorry gtg to dinner” for the fifth time in a row
I know you can see right through me but this is seriously draining.
6. Group. Chats.
-you have 589 unread messages that don’t have anything to do with you-
7. Noticing that people text differently in different group chats
Oh yeah, mhmm.
8. When you ask a question in a group chat and get visibly ignored
9. The stress of actually having to respond to a message when you’d really rather eat potato chips in bed
I see you, antisocial kid.
10. Not getting a reply and wondering if they’re just busy
Stay positive, kiddo.
11. People texting nothing like they act in public
And how did you become so eloquent?
12. Autocorrect
13. The pain of having to type without Autocorrect
14. People taking sarcasm the wrong way
Next time we shall go the boring straight talk route.
15. Not knowing how many emojis is too much
Do I seem pissed or really really happy?
16. Texting with an adult
Is that passive aggression or maturity?
17. Wondering how long you need to take to reply before you’re not “too eager” or “too lazy”
I walk the fine line
18. People who call you out over text but then have no problem with you in real life
You can't unvomit vomit.
Next time, just pick up the goddamn phone
